Create iOS and Android apps with Flutter using just one codebase.
App development on multiple platforms has historically been
difficult and complex. This book breaks down complex concepts and
tasks into easily digestible segments with examples, pictures, and
hands-on labs with starters and solutions. In doing so, you'll
develop a basic understanding of the Dart programming language; the
entire Flutter development toolchain; the differences between
stateful and stateless widgets; and a working knowledge of the
architecture of apps. All the most important parts of app
development with Flutter are covered in this book. Work with themes
and styles. Develop custom widgets. Teach your app to respond to
gestures like taps, swipes, and pinches. Design, create and control
the layout of your app. Create tools to handle form data entry from
users. And ultimately create killer multiscreen apps with
navigation, menus, and tabs. Flutter is Google's new framework for
creating mobile apps that run on iOS and Android phones both.You
had to be a super-developer to write apps for iOS or Android alone.
But writing for both? Forget about it! You had to be familiar with
Swift, Java/Kotlin, Xcode, Eclipse, and a bunch of other
technologies simultaneously. Beginning App Development with Flutter
simplifies the entire process. What You'll Learn Get the most out
of great Flutter widgets Create custom widgets, both stateless and
stateful Exercise expert control over your Flutter layouts Make
your app respond to gestures like swiping, pinching and tapping
Initiate async Ajax calls to RESTful APIs - including Google
Firebase! Who This Book Is ForDevelopers who have coded in Java,
C#, C++, or any similar language. It brings app development within
the reach of younger developers, so STEM groups are likely to pick
up the technology. Managers, product owners, and business analysts
need to understand Flutter's capabilities.
From learning about the most sought-after design patterns to a
comprehensive coverage of architectural patterns and code testing,
this book is all you need to write clean, reusable code Key
Features Write clean, reusable and maintainable code, and make the
most of the latest Swift version. Analyze case studies of some of
the popular open source projects and give your workflow a huge
boost Choose patterns such as MVP, MVC, and MVVM depending on the
application being built Book DescriptionSwift keeps gaining
traction not only amongst Apple developers but also as a
server-side language. This book demonstrates how to apply design
patterns and best practices in real-life situations, whether that's
for new or already existing projects. You'll begin with a quick
refresher on Swift, the compiler, the standard library, and the
foundation, followed by the Cocoa design patterns - the ones at the
core of many cocoa libraries - to follow up with the creational,
structural, and behavioral patterns as defined by the GoF. You'll
get acquainted with application architecture, as well as the most
popular architectural design patterns, such as MVC and MVVM, and
learn to use them in the context of Swift. In addition, you'll walk
through dependency injection and functional reactive programming.
Special emphasis will be given to techniques to handle concurrency,
including callbacks, futures and promises, and reactive
programming. These techniques will help you adopt a test-driven
approach to your workflow in order to use Swift Package Manager and
integrate the framework into the original code base, along with
Unit and UI testing. By the end of the book, you'll be able to
build applications that are scalable, faster, and easier to
maintain. What you will learn Work efficiently with Foundation and
Swift Standard library Understand the most critical GoF patterns
and use them efficiently Use Swift 4.2 and its unique capabilities
(and limitations) to implement and improve GoF patterns Improve
your application architecture and optimize for maintainability and
performance Write efficient and clean concurrent programs using
futures and promises, or reactive programming techniques Use Swift
Package Manager to refactor your program into reusable components
Leverage testing and other techniques for writing robust code Who
this book is forThis book is for intermediate developers who want
to apply design patterns with Swift to structure and scale their
applications. You are expected to have basic knowledge of iOS and
Swift.
